I'm with you.
Nordeus' algorithm sucks. Especially if opponents manager isn't there.
I lost cupfinal last season, but my team was better. Manager wasn't there.
I lost today 1. league game vs 30% weaker team 1:0, but was better also. Manager wasn't watching. (take a look)
My offensiv players, who scored 1,1-1,8 per match aren't able to score vs a weak team... interesting, they score vs (much) stronger teams, if opponent manager are there.
I really think about quitting, because I'm very active... but it seems Nordeus like to f*ck off the playerbase.
I have no problems to lose... I lost last season 3 FA games, drewed 2. Only one was vs. better team (on quality), others the opponent managers were there, and made a great job, so it's okay.
